J. Crew - May (V)

Last weekend CC and I took a trip South and stopped at a few of our favourite places. One of them was, of course, the JC store. Almost sold out was the Linen Embroidered Crab Sweatersize S. I can't say it was one of my favourites when it first debuted on the website mainly because the colour of the sweater washes me out a bit, but I loved it in the store and even better when I tried it on.First, it is more substantial than other summer linen sweaters I tried on, and second, the crab is just too darn cute!The skirt I am wearing is the Marla Skirt from Club Monaco, currently on sale.

Linen Drop-Shoulder Swing Sweatersize S and 'wet stone.' I wasn't sure whether I should try this on or not when I saw it on the table, but I'm glad I did. It feels and fits great on. The adorable mini skirt is the Salon Mini in Gemstone Print size 6. I fit into size 4 of this skirt but sizing up allows me to wear it lower on my hips in order to gain some length (not that it heleped here much). :) The colours are beautiful and look even better IRL than on the website.

Stripe Basket-Weave Dress size 6 and 'navy.' This dress also comes in a 'clay sand' colourway, as well as in petite and tall sizes. The fabric is linen/cotton and it is quite substantial. I liked that the waist was not high as it is usually the case with most JC dresses on me, and the length. At 5'6", it hits me right above the knee.
